KTWS (98.3 FM, "The Twins") is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Mainstream Rock format (Classic Rock to Active Rock) in Bend and Central Oregon in the U.S. state of Oregon. They are the legacy Rock station in Central Oregon for 33 years. They received the OAB (Oregon Association of Broadcasters) Radio Station of the Year award in 2003, 2009, and again in 2022.
